Starting in 1969, Presley began his own residency at the Westgate — then named the International Hotel. By 1976, the hip-thrusting American icon had played 636 shows, before his untimely death the following year. Manilow played his 637th show this past weekend, breaking the record during a series of shows benefitting a number of charities, including Barbara Sinatra Children's Center, and Victoria's Voice.
Honoring the late legend, Manilow covered"Hound Dog" at the show, wearing a red jacket with Elvis' iconic TCB lightning bolt logo stitched on the sleeve. His achievement was recognized during a concert last week, when he was presented with the key to the Las Vegas Strip.
